DARPA’S CHEETAH is the fastest legged robots that created
and designed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA is
an agency of the United States Department of Defense and responsible for the
development of new technology for the military. CHEETAH is their latest project
under M3 or Maximum Mobility and Manipulation program. DARPA’S CHEETAH can run
at speed of up to 18 mph. The aim of designing this robot was to set a new land
speed record for legged robots (the previous record was 13.1 mph). Their inspiration
was the actual running Cheetah in nature. The robot runs by flexing and un-flexing
its back with each step. It is a little scary to imagine this robot chasing
soldiers in battlefield in future. As you can see in the video below the
CHEETAH robot is running on a treadmill and powered by a hydraulic pump. This robot now is the world fastest running robot! Amazing, isn’t it?
